Case 2: Incentivize customers to start sharing
In this use case, we will target customers who haven’t shared any of your pages before. To encourage them to start sharing, we will run an activation campaign, in which they will receive double points for their shares for two weeks. To keep track of which customers will be engaged, we will add them to a predefined list at the end of the workflow. Please note, that this workflow will modify the behavior of the Social share module only in terms of rewarded points. All the other rules (daily share limits, enabled networks) will still apply.

Add the action taken operator
Select the share action in the Value field
Click the ‘Update’ button
...
5. Add a Campaign bonus action to the canvas and connect it to the failure (red) branch of the Customer attribute filter
By connecting the action to the failure branch, we are targeting customers who are NOT in the segment of customers who have already shared.
Set ‘Points’ to {event.points}
You don’t need to add a double multiplier here, as the customer has been already rewarded once according to the settings of the Social share module. However, if you want to triple the number of points the customer would get for the checkout, use a double multiplier ({event.points}*2).Fill in the ‘Description’ field

5. Add an Assign coupon action to the canvas and connect it to the success (green) branch of the Event attribute filter
In this step, we will set up all the information required to define the 10% off coupon codes to be assigned to customers
Choose the coupon source
Generate: If you want Antavo to generate codes, define the coupon pattern in the ‘Pattern’ field that we will follow, based on the following rules: “#” denotes a digit (0-9), “@” denotes an alphabetic character (A-Z), “*” denotes an alphanumeric character all other characters can be added as literals
For example, if you set the coupon pattern to BONUS5##, a coupon code could be BONUS596
Remote: If you’d like to maintain more control over coupon management, you can set a callback URL endpoint in the ‘URL’ field, which provides us with coupon codes to issue. If you need us to provide your endpoint with the pattern, you can define it in the ‘Pattern field as described before.Set the value of the coupon to 5
Set the expiration time (optional)
Click the ‘Update’ button
Set the coupon type to percentage
...
6. Add a Webhook message action to the canvas and connect it to the success (green) branch of the Assign coupon action
Because coupons are not sent to customers automatically by Antavo, customers will only learn that they have received a coupon if you notify them.
Antavo can provide the necessary information in the form of a webhook message. This way you can send your customers a notification through your newsletter provider and handle coupon redemption restrictions in your webstore environment. In this next step, we will set up a webhook message, but make sure you consult with your developer team and check this article beforehand.
Add the URL of the webhook endpoint that your developers have set up
Set a timeout value for the webhook request in seconds
This is optional, but if you leave it blank, the default value will be applied, which is 1 second.Set the content type
The data can be sent in either URL-encoded or in JSON format, whichever is more comfortable for your developer.In the ‘Fields’ section, add the list of the information you need Antavo to provide
Click the ‘Update’ button
...
However, in case you have a Trigger Marketing Communication action node in the left sidebar, you don’t need to process a webhook message. Antavo can trigger an event in your newsletter provider, which will send coupon codes to your customers. To use the out-of-box solution, add a Trigger Marketing Communication action instead of the Webhook message action this way:
6. Add a Trigger Marketing Communication action to the canvas and connect it to the success (green) branch of the Assign coupon action
Select the event you would like to trigger from the dropdown list that appears in the ‘Event’ field
Fill the ‘Payload’ with the content you wish to include in the event
Click the ‘Update’ button
